T BRUNDAGE SLIPS IT OVER ON
BIG BILL AND HARDING
Att'y Gen. Ed Brundage, who is
building his political fences with an
eye to naming the "next Republican
candidate for mayor, appears to have
put one over an Mayor Thompson,
Sen. George Harding and Aid. Oscar
De Priest through the appointment
as ass't att'y-general of Franklin De
nison, colonel of the colored Eighth
regiment.
Denison, an able lawyer with a
good record bJth in private and pub
lic' life, wields a powerful influence
over the members of his own race in
the Harding-De Priest stronghold,
the Second ward. Two years ago he
was all set to take the field against
De Priest for alderman, but was uit'
duced to withdraw.
Denison lives in the former resi
dence of Gladys Forbes, from which
he wields his influence over the col
ored people of the district. His align
ment with the Brundage forces is
sure to hurt the Thompson-Harding
combine who have hitherto used the
big negrVote in the Second ward
as it wanted.
Brundage's peace agreement with
Mayor Thqmpson does not cover the
mayoralty compaign. Brundage will
either be a candidate for mayor him
self or will have a candidate in the
field against Thompson or the
Thompson man. The colored voto
cuts a big figure in tb,e Republican
primaries. Brundage has taken a
lse move in its direction.
Denison, who is chiefly known to
ewspaper readers by his command
of the Eighth regiment, has served
as an ass't corp. counsel under
Brundage and has been an inherit
ance tax cpm'r since 1900. He re
ceived a big vote at the G. O. P. pri
mary for municipal judge last fall.
